Chapter Mode is the equivalent of the rarely used Index function in standard audio CDs. Thus, you aren't playing an individual chapter file (the function is to support Audible .aa format files), the display is showing the current indexed chapter.

So, "delete book" is simply deleting the current file loaded.

Yeah, I understand all that. Wouldn't labelling the feature "delete chapter" when appropriate make the UI much less confusing, though? That is what I was alluding to...

Re: Sansa Clip Firmware For Hardware Revision 1.0

Okay, I'm a little concerned now. I have the same problem redcow was having. I have changed the USB settings to MTP, connected, disconnected, reset to AutoDetect, and reconnected and disconnected again. Still no change; in Windows I show everything there, but the Sansa does not recognize anything. What am I doing wrong?

''Uri Note that I am not endorsing nor condemning this function.

Maybe SanDisk wants to distance themselves from the players that you describe for the very reason that you state. Just a thought.''

I must to disagree on that. Folder browsing is more basic function than cheap players privilege. All my previus players had this function and also had tag-reading. My girlfrends Philips has folder browsing and I wouldn't call it cheap mp3 at all.

I am very satisfied with my Clip (2G) in almost all aspects (great sound, cute look, custom EQ,...). Still, I would add folder support and made some changes to EQ preset settings - I would remove classic and pop EQ (I hope no one is really listening music with those settings) and add function to save one or two custom EQ settings.

Re: Sansa Clip Firmware For Hardware Revision 1.0

My guess is that folder support is not something desired by the majority of the target Sansa market. People want to hear a song by a particular artist, or a particular album. A lot of people using MP3 players may not even know what a folder *is*, let alone organize their music into folders.

I'm not saying it's not a nice thing to have, just that it may not be worth Sandisk's time and money to put it into the firmware.

I was precisely thinking that a lot of people using MP3 players may not even know what a ID3 tag *is*, let alone have their music files properly tagged.

I'm a strong supporter of the tag-based browsing, by the way. My only problem with tag browsing is the poor handling of compilation albums. For me, this would be completely 'fixed' (so to speak) with the addition of 'Album Artist' tag support (hear me! hear me!!...) and then I'd be 100% happy with my clip (currently I'm 99.5% happy).

Sure, but you don't have to know what an "ID3 tag" is to browse by an "Artist", or an "Album", or a "Song", or a "Genre". And the average user is going to have their music files properly tagged when they rip their CDs with WMP, or when they buy a song from Amazon.com or Rhapsody.
